	<title>Bill Simmons&#39; Signing</title>
	<link>http://ballhype.com/article/bill-simmons-signing/</link>
	<description>&lt;p&gt;   
 With nothing else to do last night, I decided to brave the traffic on highway 26 and head out to the Borders in Beaverton to experience the Bill Simmons book signing.  Kudos to Borders for doing a great job of managing the event.  It was difficult to estimate the number of people in attendance because everyone was so spread out, but it was a great turn out.  I&#39;d guess there was somewhere between 800 and 1,300 people.    Simmons came out before the signing to briefly address the crowd.  He responded to some of the issues that he has heard recently from Blazer fans.  A few of the things he addressed: 
 * He immediately acknowledged his mistake in predicting that the Blazers would go 41-41 this year.  He said he had to decide between Portland and New Orleans as the team that might fall back a little this year and he chose wrong.  * He discussed his experience at the Blazers/Pistons game on Thursday (his first game at the Rose Garden), noting that we have what he believes to be the only arena in the&amp;nbsp;...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Find more top sports news, videos, and blogs on BallHype: &lt;a href="http://ballhype.com/nba/"&gt;NBA&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://ballhype.comhttp://ballhype.com/general/bill_simmons/"&gt;Bill Simmons&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://ballhype.comhttp://ballhype.com/nba/portland_blazers/"&gt;Portland Blazers&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://ballhype.comhttp://ballhype.com/nba/detroit_pistons/"&gt;Detroit Pistons&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

	<title>Five years later, Ron Artest recalls the Brawl at the Palace</title>
	<link>http://ballhype.com/article/five-years-later-ron-artest-recalls-the-brawl-at-the/</link>
	<description>&lt;p&gt;Now with the Lakers, Artest says the melee wasn&#39;t his fault and he should get some of the $5 million he lost during a 73-game suspension.
                         &gt;    
                    
                    Five years ago Thursday,  Ron Artest  was a part of one of the worst brawls in sports history when he and his Indiana Pacers teammates went into the stands during a game against the Detroit Pistons at the Palace in Auburn Hills, Mich.

	<title>Iverson clears waivers, becomes free agent</title>
	<link>http://ballhype.com/article/iverson-clears-waivers-becomes-free-agent-1/</link>
	<description>&lt;p&gt;Allen Iverson has cleared waivers and is free to sign with any NBA team.

The former MVP was waived Tuesday after playing only three games with the Memphis Grizzlies and no team claimed him in the following 48 hours, making him a free agent.

The New York Knicks are discussing whether they want to bring in the 34-year-old guard. Iverson was unhappy coming off the bench last season in Detroit and this season with the Grizzlies, so there isn&#39;t expected to be much interest in him. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Find more top sports news, videos, and blogs on BallHype: &lt;a href="http://ballhype.com/nba/"&gt;NBA&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://ballhype.comhttp://ballhype.com/nba/allen_iverson/"&gt;Allen Iverson&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://ballhype.comhttp://ballhype.com/nba/memphis_grizzlies/"&gt;Memphis Grizzlies&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://ballhype.comhttp://ballhype.com/nba/new_york_knicks/"&gt;New York Knicks&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://ballhype.comhttp://ballhype.com/nba/detroit_pistons/"&gt;Detroit Pistons&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

	<description>&lt;p&gt;Ben Gordon&#39;s impressive offensive arsenal earned him a lucrative contract with the Pistons over the summer. But it didn&#39;t come without strings, as SI.com&#39;s Ian Thomsen learned.

	<title>Game 13: Blazers 87, Pistons 81</title>
	<link>http://ballhype.com/article/game-13-blazers-87-pistons-81/</link>
	<description>&lt;p&gt;      
  Box Score  
 The Blazers nearly blew a 20-point advantage in the second half to a very mediocre Detroit Pistons team last night.  The lead dwindled down to one before some clutch free throw shooting by Andre Miller and Steve Blake put the game away.    During the hideously played fourth quarter, a glaring Portland weakness was exposed by Piston&#39;s coach John Kuester.  The comeback began as Kuester, recognizing that the man in charge of bringing the ball up the court was Steve Blake, implemented a full court press.  With Blake leading the charge most of the way, the Blazers had a difficult time of handling the pressure, turning the ball over and missing hurried shots.  It wasn&#39;t until Andre Miller-who earned a huge amount of respect from anyone watching the replays of him turning both of his ankles and continuing to play-hobbled back into the game to restore order.    I have always liked Steve Blake.  He&#39;s a great guy and he works hard.  But I&#39;m also a realist and I understand that he just&amp;nbsp;...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Find more top sports news, videos, and blogs on BallHype: &lt;a href="http://ballhype.com/nba/"&gt;NBA&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://ballhype.comhttp://ballhype.com/nba/detroit_pistons/"&gt;Detroit Pistons&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://ballhype.comhttp://ballhype.com/nba/portland_blazers/"&gt;Portland Blazers&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://ballhype.comhttp://ballhype.com/nba/steve_blake/"&gt;Steve Blake&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://ballhype.comhttp://ballhype.com/nba/andre_miller/"&gt;Andre Miller&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

	<title>Portland Trailblazers-Detroit Pistons: Brandon Roy Needs Help in the Fourth</title>
	<link>http://ballhype.com/article/portland-trailblazers-detroit-pistons-brandon-roy/</link>
	<description>&lt;p&gt; 
   The excitement in the air was palpable. These Blazers were coming off a 4-1 road trip that included a road win over the Hornets. In some ways, that brought relief. 
 After all, the season got off to a rugged start with two home losses that both ended in heart-breaking fashion. Unlike last year when every close game was closed out by Brandon Roy, LaMarcus Aldridge, Travis Outlaw, Joel Przybilla, and Steve Blake in victorious fashion, the losses to Atlanta and Denver felt like chokes.   
 
 
 That is not a word normally associated with Brandon Roy&#39;s Blazers and the murmuring had been getting loud. 
 This year&#39;s Blazer edition was expected to contend, not give away games. With Roy and Aldridge coming off major contract extensions, Greg Oden expected to be more like the player drafted than last year&#39;s surgery-slowed big man, and the return of Martell Webster from injury, all the pieces were in place. 
The road trip went a long way towards leading the fan base to think that this was the team we&amp;nbsp;...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Find more top sports news, videos, and blogs on BallHype: &lt;a href="http://ballhype.com/nba/"&gt;NBA&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://ballhype.comhttp://ballhype.com/nba/portland_blazers/"&gt;Portland Blazers&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://ballhype.comhttp://ballhype.com/nba/detroit_pistons/"&gt;Detroit Pistons&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://ballhype.comhttp://ballhype.com/nba/brandon_roy/"&gt;Brandon Roy&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

 The Detroit Piston have a surprisingly good one-two punch at point guard. Rodney Stuckey (17ppg) and Will Bynum (14ppg) are both very capable of scoring but not especially good at distributing. We&#39;ll have to work hard to stop these guys offensively but I like Andre Miller in this game thanks to his veteran mentality. Bayless probably needs to get some run just for defensive purposes. I&#39;m going with the Piston tandem.

 With Rip Hamilton out, Ben Gordon gets full time duties at shooting guard (22.4ppg). He&#39;s very short for a shooting guard which bodes well for Portland&#39;s three guard starting line-up. Steve Blake has no chance of stopping him though. This could be a struggle. Will Bynum will also back-up Gordon, and as I said, he&#39;s a great scorer. I just hope Rudy and Steve can spread the floor and hit their shots to make these&amp;nbsp;...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Find more top sports news, videos, and blogs on BallHype: &lt;a href="http://ballhype.com/nba/"&gt;NBA&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://ballhype.comhttp://ballhype.com/nba/detroit_pistons/"&gt;Detroit Pistons&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://ballhype.comhttp://ballhype.com/nba/portland_blazers/"&gt;Portland Blazers&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

	<title>Growing Pains: Detroit Pistons Not Quite Ready for Showtime</title>
	<link>http://ballhype.com/article/growing-pains-detroit-pistons-not-quite-ready-for/</link>
	<description>&lt;p&gt; So far this season, the Detroit Pistons have been a hard team to figure out. Some nights they appear to be a fairly cohesive bunch, able to execute equally well with their bench and first unit. 
 Other nights, like Tuesday, they show how far they have left to go before they can reach elite status. 
 The Pistons began their first four-game trip out west with a 106-93 thumping by the Los Angeles Lakers. 
 For Detroit, this West Coast trip represents the first barometer for Detroit to measure itself against. Thus far this season, Detroit has played mainly second and third tier NBA teams with varying levels of success. 
 In order for the Pistons to become the best, they need to play the best, and there is arguably nobody better than the defending champion Lakers. 
 The result was not entirely unexpected for those that have been following this team. 
 However, teams tend to learn more about themselves from a defeat than they do from a victory, so let&#39;s explore what can be deciphered from this latest loss&amp;nbsp;...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Find more top sports news, videos, and blogs on BallHype: &lt;a href="http://ballhype.com/nba/"&gt;NBA&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://ballhype.comhttp://ballhype.com/nba/detroit_pistons/"&gt;Detroit Pistons&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://ballhype.comhttp://ballhype.com/nba/ben_wallace/"&gt;Ben Wallace&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://ballhype.comhttp://ballhype.com/nba/ben_gordon/"&gt;Ben Gordon&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://ballhype.comhttp://ballhype.com/nba/richard_hamilton/"&gt;Richard Hamilton&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://ballhype.comhttp://ballhype.com/nba/tayshaun_prince/"&gt;Tayshaun Prince&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://ballhype.comhttp://ballhype.com/nba/jonas_jerebko/"&gt;Jonas Jerebko&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

	<link>http://ballhype.com/article/adjusting-to-offense-will-take-time-but-how-much/</link>
	<description>&lt;p&gt;It was a beautiful display of basketball, the kind that the Washington Wizards assumed would be a regular occurrence when Flip Saunders took over as head coach. The Washington Wizards scored 27 points in little more than seven minutes in the third quarter of their 106-103 loss to the Detroit Pistons on Saturday.

Mike Miller kicked the ball out to an open Andray Blatche for an 18-foot jumper, then Blatche returned the favor as he found Miller open for a three-pointer. Caron Butler took a pass on the wing from Blatche, then quickly found Gilbert Arenas open at the top of the key for another three-pointer. It&#39;s getting harder to score. (Photo by Ned Dishman/NBAE via Getty Images) All in all, the Wizards had eight assists on 10 field goals and turned an eight-point deficit

That much we&#39;ve figured out. Mike Jones of the Washington Times also covers the latest Gilbert persona change. His colleague, Tom Knott, gets Cavaliers week (okay, not quite the ring of Cowboys week, but humor us for a second) started with a column on LeBron James putting a self-imposed stop to the free agency talk. Bullets Forever&#39;s Mike Prada takes a final look at Saturday&#39;s loss to the Pistons and says the little things made the difference. Around the League ... Pretty quiet night in terms of games. In Los Angeles, former Laker Trevor Ariza received his championship ring and his Rockets got a win.

 AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) -- Dirk Nowitzki scored 25 points, and rookie Rodrique Beaubois added 14 points on 6-for-6 shooting to help the Dallas Mavericks beat Detroit 95-90 on Sunday night, snapping the Pistons&#39; winning streak at three games. 
 Drew Gooden had 11 points and 11 rebounds, and Shawn Marion also had 11 points, and Jason Kidd added 10 points and seven assists for the Mavericks. 
 Rodney Stuckey led the Pistons with 28 points, and Will Bynum had 27, including 17 in the fourth quarter. Ben Gordon, though, went 1 for 16 and missed a 3-pointer that would have tied it with 2 seconds left. 
 The Pistons led late in the third quarter, but a turnover let the Mavericks get back-to-back dunks at the end of the period for 71-66. 
 Detroit tied it at 78 with 6 minutes left, but Nowitzki answered with a three-point play.

	<title>Morning brew, Sunday edition</title>
	<link>http://ballhype.com/article/morning-brew-sunday-edition/</link>
	<description>&lt;p&gt;Was it really only two weeks ago that the Wizards were 2-1? Yes, yes it was. The losing streak reached six Saturday night as the Wizards were unable to hold off the Pistons down the stretch, falling 106-103 at Verizon Center. The Wizards are now 2-7 with no letup anytime soon. Washington next faces Cleveland at home, then travels to Oklahoma City and San Antonio. Michael Lee lays it all out on an eventful, though ultimately frustrating, night for the Wizards in his postgame thoughts. And here&#39;s the box score, if you want to mull over some positives, such as the return of Mike Miller, the play of Earl Boykins and so forth.

	<title>Wizards&#39; Jamison to make season debut vs. Cavs</title>
	<link>http://ballhype.com/article/wizards-jamison-to-make-season-debut-vs-cavs/</link>
	<description>&lt;p&gt;Wizards coach Flip Saunders says captain Antawn Jamison will make his season debut Wednesday night against the Cavaliers.

The two-time All-Star forward partially dislocated his right shoulder trying to block a shot in an exhibition game against Cleveland on Oct. 14.

Jamison&#39;s shoulder had healed, but he missed Saturday night&#39;s 106-103 loss to the Detroit Pistons because of an illness. That was Washington&#39;s sixth consecutive defeat and dropped the team to 2-7. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Find more top sports news, videos, and blogs on BallHype: &lt;a href="http://ballhype.com/nba/"&gt;NBA&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://ballhype.comhttp://ballhype.com/nba/washington_wizards/"&gt;Washington Wizards&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://ballhype.comhttp://ballhype.com/nba/cleveland_cavs/"&gt;Cleveland Cavaliers&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://ballhype.comhttp://ballhype.com/nba/flip_saunders/"&gt;Flip Saunders&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://ballhype.comhttp://ballhype.com/nba/antawn_jamison/"&gt;Antawn Jamison&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://ballhype.comhttp://ballhype.com/nba/detroit_pistons/"&gt;Detroit Pistons&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
